The switches didn't work, but worked at other areas in the house so one of the wires is wrong, but it's a 3 gang wall box and there's just too many wires to figure it out. I'm wondering if I' using the wrong neutral, as that's the only one missing from the old switch, but I can't seem to find another. Oh well, I'll try again tomorrow.

These free apps/services seem to getting competitive. It's not just added value, but maybe necessary. Still, you gotta be grateful. MS is setting a good example and this beats any ad. Bill and Steve can come over for burgers anytime. I'll just hide the Pro Tower. It's outnumbered anyway. Now we need Mesh and Live services for the iPhone. The new Google app with speech recognition for searching is pretty darn cool. Also, Hotmail on the iPhone is on my wish list. You never know.

Thanks screech, I will let the guys know. I told them to dump AVG a while ago for OneCare, or at least the free McAfee [when it was working well], I use OneCare and I'm playing with AVAST on my new $400 Vista laptop, after deleting the free one year trial of Norton. SOme of my friends are really cheap, so I tried AVAST, but obviously this news from MS will change things for sure.

They have a fix on there website.

Or you just copy the original user32.dll and paste it back into windows\system32 folder. Go to save mode and turn all of avg's services off. That should work immediately. When you get back into windows just download avg and reinstall it.

That's the perfect example of mainstream "journalism"'s tech coverage. I'm surprised it wasn't Goatberger.

www.microsoft.com/.../default.aspx is a good starting point as are the recruiter's blogs.

Remember, though, that Photoshop CS4 on the Mac is a Carbon app and does not use 64-bit Cocoa so it is restricted to the 32-bit APIs.

It was Apple's cancelling 64-bit Carbon after Adobe was already using it for Photoshop CS4 for OS X that caused Adobe to have to release only a 32-bit version.

Mac OS X may have a 32 bit kernel, but the applications still have 64-bit address support. The applications can run and access massive files. Maybe that is why PS CS4 is able to run with comparable speed.

Just saying...I have used neither Photoshop on Vista or Mac.

Runtime Error,

Since the discussion was between the 64-bit Photoshop CS4 (only on Windows Vista) and the 32-bit versions (on both platforms) the fact that you saw a difference between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions confirms the point.

"Then you haven't tried manipulating 12Mp raw digital images on it.... etc etc ... blah blah.. etc"

I certainly have sir. While your hobby, when your not building computers for a living, is hanging out here, and bothering people in stores who are looking to buy a Mac, my hobby (while not at my place of work) is digital media. I do graphics, I do music, I do video.

Large files, super large files, huge files even... the only performance difference I have seen from one platform to another with Photoshop is the difference between Vista 32 bit and Vista 64 bit.

Sorry, maybe you see different (even though I have a very hard time believing you'd even touch the box a Mac came in for fear of getting the hipness herpes or something). Maybe I'm just crazy. I don't know.

Then again, all my media design computers pretty much equal each other when it comes to components... maybe I should stuff more ram in the V64 box ... and upgrade the video card... just to make Photoshop CS4 run a teeny bit faster than it does on the Mac...

Then again, maybe not. Everything is working fine the way it is.

"And yes - I've worked on large files before. I once worked on a 995MB logo for a company - about 6 years ago in Photoshop 5.5 on a system with only 128MB of RAM."

Those were the days :) I remember doing a fairly massive Flash website for a local band on an old K2-500 with 64MB of ram. Flash 4. Yup. I look back now and honestly cannot figure out how I did it.

Yep screech I just sent this warning to my partners this morning. Some still use AVG:

Flawed AVG update cripples Windows XP PCs

How is the fix?
